往昔之始：谭恩美自传

Her memoir weaves together memories and reflections—I'm curious about how she chose what to share and what to keep private.

Her insights into Chinese heritage and American life felt so personal and relatable. I wonder if others found similar resonance or differences.

The way she interweaves her life with broader Chinese history made it more impactful. I wonder if this narrative style was planned from the start or evolved during writing.
